authentication-mode
Syntax
authentication-mode { none | password | scheme }
View
User interface view
Default Level
3: Manage level
Parameters
none: Does not authenticate users.
password: Authenticates users using the local password.
scheme: Authenticates users locally or remotely using usernames and passwords.
Description
Use the authentication-mode command to specify the authentication mode.
z If you specify the password keyword to authenticate users using the local password, remember to
set the local password using the set authentication password { cipher | simple } password
command.
z If you specify the scheme keyword to authenticate users locally or remotely using usernames and
passwords, the actual authentication mode depends on other related configuration. Refer to the
AAA-RADIUS module of this manual for more.
After you specify to perform local password authentication, when a user logs in through the Console
port, a user can log into the switch even if the password is not configured on the switch. But for a VTY
user interface, a password is needed for a user to log into the switch through it under the same
condition.
By default, users logging in through the Console port are not authenticated.
